# Dashboard
Price Action Model Dashboard
The **MTF Dashboard** is your command center for establishing bias and trend confluence. Instead of manually clicking through multiple timeframes to determine the overall market direction, the dashboard aggregates this data into a sleek, unobtrusive table directly on your chart.
### Dashboard Configuration
* **Visibility & Positioning:** You can toggle the dashboard on or off and place it anywhere on your chart (Top Right, Bottom Left, Middle, etc.) so it never obstructs your view of the price action.
* **Custom Timeframes:** You can track up to 5 individual timeframes simultaneously. By default, these might be 5m, 15m, 1H, 4H, and 1D, but you can customize them to fit your specific trading style (e.g., scalpers might use 1m, 3m, 5m, 15m, 1H).
### How to Read the Dashboard
The dashboard uses a clean visual interface to communicate two main pieces of data for each timeframe:
1. **Bias (Direction):** Indicated by color (typically Teal for Bullish, Red for Bearish). This tells you the current structural trend of that specific timeframe.
2. **Trend Strength:** Some timeframes may show stronger momentum than others. The dashboard helps you gauge whether a trend is robust or starting to chop.
### Strategic Usage
The most powerful way to use the dashboard is as an **Execution Filter**.
* **The Golden Rule:** Never enter a trade if your lower timeframes are actively fighting your higher timeframes.
* **Alignment:** If you are looking to take a long position on the 15m chart based on a bullish Price Action Model, check the dashboard first. If the 1H and 4H are screaming Bearish, *sit on your hands*. Wait until the 15m and 1H align with the 4H direction before committing capital.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://docs.candelacharts.com/models/price-action-model-tm/dashboard.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
